Exclusive: a thrilling extract from the imminent immensity that is The Last Few Seconds Before Sleep - new Erstlaub on Broken20 (LMYE's New Label of 2010 ). Deftly controlled & shaped, often deeply affecting, TLFSBS underscores again how Dave Fyans' Erstlaub stands out as a beacon of a special, cherishable integrity. To these ears few other artists – working in drone or elsewhere – can summon the same intensity or harness the same single-mindedness (yes, heckler, those two probably are facets of a single [...]
Four typically pungent tastes of Orphax that nonetheless take the drone guise of Moving Furniture 's Sietse van Erve into some less familiar territory - intense as ever, but here accommodating Die Helden 's "beats & (hidden) melodies " & the work in progress Untitled marking " my first attempt at such minimal music " . [...]
Erstlaub remixed ? My undiplomatic twin would probably rather have Fyans' piercing, magical menace unleashed on & infused in to others than the reverse. But no one asked him. Whereas Broken20 ( our new label of 2010 ) has asked several fellow travellers from the Highpoint Lowlife /B20 stable, enlisting them to cross-pollinat e his windblown specialness. One of the most apt [...]
"You're wearing red. I'm wearing red. Coincidence? I don't think so." Three exceptional new pieces surface in SoundCloud within minutes of each other - leaving me musing idly about a Jasper TX / Erstlaub / John Chantler supergroup (a prog crime that I seem willing to tolerate, even laud, in more experimental contexts). While that liaison seems remote, even if each o ther's [...]
A sort of scrapbook of new treasures, & a kind of mix - an LMYE-curated selection sifted out of our SoundCloud (one of them, anyway) over the past couple of days & stuck up as an experiment (in capture, in non-writing, in satisfaction, in limits)... I30 > Live at Triple [...]
Two fascinating, unsettling excursions by Erstlaub into mystically-tinged spoken drone. Wands & Cups powerfully summon the elemental suits through Dave's dark intoning (wording below) to apt, notably restrained settings of metallic hum & spiral or wind buffeted echo. [...]

We are all broken - indisputably, Broken20_0.5 brings " drones, noise, clipped beats, rumbling bass " . But to these ears what it most b rings [...]
Broken20 (" releases concerned with decay, erosion, entropy, mistakes and errors, line noise and tape hiss, hum and buzz " - a first look here ) [...]
Talking of prizes , imagine a world in which Erstlaub 's astoundingly rich, deeply affecting music was celebrated & garlanded as it should be. However inconceivable from an 'industry' perspective , it's not really that hard. [...]
Since his fascinating interview here in March & the subsequent release of his immense Broadcasting on Ghost Frequencies on Moving Furniture (full Bandcamp stream below), rumbly drone-meister Erstlaub has morphed into [...]
Owing to the incredible summer weather, I haven't been overindulging in my typical diet of frosty electronic drones. It has all been lite reggae and salsa-flavoured hip-hop round here. Honest. Trust the Highpoint Lowlife bunch to tempt me back to the dark side. Ruaridh Law, (The Village Orchestra), has enlisted the help of fellow HPLL [...]
I had just begun to write about this, and how it was reminding me of being buffeted by the bitter North Sea wind on a desperate part of the Scottish coast, when Monkeyman glanced over my shoulder and told me I was wrong. "It doesn't sound like that at all", I was informed. "It [...]
